Truck bed cover

Details

Inventors: Pirhonen, Ilkka J.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Song; Robert R.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Marrs; Roger A.

A cover for a truck bed is disclosed herein having a base secured to the edge of the truck bed which includes a pair of side bars connected at their ends by front and rear bars. A flexible sheet of cover material is detachably connected to the respective bars by fasteners cooperatively aligned and placed about the peripheral edge marginal region of the cover and the respective bars. The base is releasably carried on the truck bed by clamps, latches or the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, the above problems and difficulties are obviated by the present invention which provides a novel cover for a conventional truck bed which employs a rigid frame mountable along the edge marginal region of the truck bed sidewalls by means of a latch or block and screw arrangement that avoids modification of the truck bed.
A flexible cover sheet is detachably connected about its peripheral edge to the base frame by fastener means so that the cover sheet will cover the open truck bed in its operative position and which may be disconnected and folded or rolled into a storage position.
In one form, the fastener means may be snap-lock button and receptacle combinations wherein the button may be carried on the edge of the cover sheet while the receptacle for the button may be fixedly attached to the rigid frame so that upon alignment of the button with the receptacle, snap-lock connection can be taken.
The frame and cover are light in weight and may be produced from inexpensive materials, such as plastic and recycled materials.
Therefore, it is among the primary objects of the present invention to provide a novel cover for a truck bed which includes a base detachably connected to the truck bed for carrying a cover over the open part of the truck bed which is inexpensive and convenient to install by unskilled persons.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel cover for a truck bed which permits installation without any drilling, gluing or damaging the truck body or the paint.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a novel pickup truck tonneau cover which may be fastened over a frame or base by snap fasteners or Velcro tape so that the cover may be readily removed at the convenience of the user from the frame.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel cover for installation over an open truck bed which includes a cast frame detachably connectable to the edge marginal region of the truck bed by latch or block and screw couplers and which includes a cover sheet detachably connectable to the frame by snap fasteners or Velcro tape
